Gideon Rose is the former editor and managing editor of Foreign Affairs. He currently serves as an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and adjunct professor of political science at Columbia University. Previously, he was the Mary and David Boies Distinguished Fellow in US Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations and held assistant editorial roles at the National Interest and the Public Interest. He has also served as associate director for Near East and South Asian Affairs at the National Security Council and deputy director of National Security Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. The author of How Wars End (Simon & Schuster, 2010), Rose has taught American foreign policy at Princeton University and Columbia University. He holds a BA in classics from Yale University and a PhD in government from Harvard University.
At the American Academy, Rose will work on a project about the future of European security. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, China’s predatory mercantilism, and the rise of populist neoisolationism in the United States have forced a reconsideration about what might be necessary to protect Europe in the coming decades. As the European Council noted in its latest strategic plan, “The global political landscape is being reshaped by strategic competition, growing global instability, and attempts to undermine the rules-based international order.” The Continent has already begun responding to this new reality, yet, after decades of neglect, restoring Europe’s military capacity, economic competitiveness, and strategic autonomy will be difficult. Can NATO evolve into a more balanced team, and may the time finally have come for a European pillar within it? Can increased trade and economic dynamism be squared with increased security and international competition? Rose will use his time in Berlin to engage closely with security experts and policymakers, bridging the gap between discussions occurring on both sides of the Atlantic.
